Hi,
I just installed Palo 3.2 CE on Win7 (64bit) with Office 2010 (32bit) and the installation worked fine so far. I can access ETL Manager and create dimensions and cubes and so on.
Now, when I start the Excel AddIn, the small window with the responsible people of the Jedox team shows up. I click OK and it pops up again. I just point that out in case it might give somebody a hint on what's wrong.
Then I try to add a connection to the server. I go to Add-Ins / Palo / Modeller and start the wizard. I select to register a new server, and enter the name of the connection, the server, the port and also username and password (admin/admin). When I click on test connection it works fine. And then I try to click on Continue and the following error message shows up (it's translated from german, because everything is german on that machine and I didn't want to mix up languages):
Error when registering the server! Please check the connection parameters.
I was used to that behaviour in the previous version of the CE. There I just clicked on OK, then I clicked on Finish in the wizard and everything worked fine. But it doesn't work in 3.2 CE. The error message just shows up as long as I try to add the connection. Adding the connection directly to the registry doesn't work either. Then I can select the server from the dropdown, but when I click on the connect button, nothing happens. Even the connection to localhost which has been added to the wizard automatically doesn't work. Nothing happens when I click on the connect button.
So I had a look at the logfile (PaloXLAddin.log). In the log file I found an entry with (again translated from german):
Error registering server!
Exception Data:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC): The macro 'PALO.REMOVE_CONNECTION' can not be executed. The macro is not available in this workbook or all macros have been deactivated.
...
So I thought I should check the security settings for macros and set everything to the lowest possible things I found. - same result, it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Christian
